Today marks the first day of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2019 and under the theme of "Intelligent Connectivity", Vivo was quick to showcase several innovations that they have in store for us. Most of the features were already speculated a few days ago and all of them are true, such as the new 120W Super FlashCharge technology, AR Glass, and its first commercial 5G smartphone.
Speaking of the 5G smartphone, it was announced that their first ever commercial 5G smartphone will officially be available from the third quarter of 2019. Known as the Vivo iQOO 5G, it features a wide range of 5G applications including 5G Cloud Game, 5G Screen Mirroring and 5G EasyShare and many more smart life scenarios. With the help of 5G enabled services, Vivo said that consumers no need to download additional apps.
How does that work, though? Well say for the 5G Cloud Game, it doesn't really run the app on the smartphone itself but on the cloud with the help of 5G connectivity. So through the 5G Cloud Game, the video and audio are streamed in real-time! This also applies to the 5G Screen Mirroring and 5G EasyShare.
We also wrote about the Super FlashCharge before, which has a ground-breaking 120W (20V/6A)charging speed and the first in the industry to do so. To ensure the smartphone doesn't burst into flames, it has a new charge pump technology with a customized Type-C data cable which takes only 5 minutes to charge a 4000mAh battery from 0% to 50%. For a full recharge, it takes only 13 minutes.
Finally, Vivo also showcased the rumoured AR Glass and it will play a new role in augmented reality in the 5G era. These glasses feature dual-screen display and 6DoF technology, which relies heavily on a 5G smartphone. The user can run a wide range of apps like a mobile office, AR games, 3D HD video, facial and object recognition as well.
“Vivo’s mission has always been to develop innovative products to deliver the ultimate user experience, with smart devices and smart services as the core of our business”, says Spark Ni, Senior Vice President of Vivo. “We hope through the introduction of new strategy and innovation we can truly make a big impact in improving people's quality of life and society as a whole.”
Stay tuned for more vivo news at MWC Shanghai 2019 as we are currently hanging out there.
